While other schools in certain parts of the country are going into their
5th game of the season, around New Jersey-way, they are just getting
started.

Brian Toal's team will be playing only it's second game today, but Bosco had
a nice start in it's season debut. "We won 42-14." Brian said of their first
game. A game which saw Toal exhibit all of that versatility and athleticism he
has become so well known for.

"I had 180 yards and 3 touchdowns on offense and 10 tackles, 1 sack and 1
forced fumble on defense." Toal said. And Brian also stated that, that was with
the coaches taking him out with almost a full quarter yet remaining in the game.
"I was kind of disappointed." Toal stated. "I wanted to keep running and keep
playing defense."

Ranked by The Insiders as one of the top ten linebackers in the country, you
can be rest assured that his continuing success on the field has equated to even
more attention off the field, attention Brian doesn't shy away from at all.
"It's great." Toal said of the attention. "It's not bad at all. I like it."

The calls have been coming in consistently, but Brian said that the glut of
calls he expected from some of the nightmare recruiting stories he had heard
about, well, his attention has been good, but very manageable up to this point.
"It's not been that bad at all." Brian said. "About 2 to 3 coaches a night is
all."

Ok, that might not seem like a lot to him, but I would bet that some recruits
would froth at the mouth if to get attention with that kind of frequency. And
the consistency in terms of schools has been pretty good as well. "Miami, Notre Dame, Boston College, Virginia Tech and Syracuse, those are the ones that call
me a lot." Brian said. And oddly enough, there was another school that contacted
him last night ( he wasn't home) that Brian was curious as to why the attention
dropped off. He found out what the reason more than likely was.

"Coach Williams (from Nebraska) called last night." Toal stated. "I didn't
get to talk to him, but he thought I committed to Penn State. I haven't gotten
in touch with him yet, but I have no idea why he thought that."

Penn State would have no doubt been happy about that, but I am sure Nebraska
and all the other schools Toal listed are just as relieved that Toal isn't
committed to someone other than them just yet.

Not only is Brian not committed, he's not even in the area of putting things
down to paper as far as a list of favorites go. "I am so open right now." Brian
stated laughing. "I haven't thought about a list at all."

"This coach will call and their team will move up and another will call and
they will move up. It just gets kind of confusing, so I think about it a lot,
but it's always changing."

Another thing that is changing is his mind-set on just when he will take his
official visits. While most are anticipated after the season, Brian said one
could come earlier. "We have a bye week this season and I was thinking of going
to a game then." he said. "I haven't even looked that far ahead as to who's
playing at home and what, but I was thinking about taking an official then."

Consistent to his thought process right now though, Brian hasn't put into his
mind just where those officials will be, but he's fairly sure that he'll take
all five of them. "As of right now, I think I will take all five, because I
really have no idea who I am looking at." he said.

No doubt you haven't gotten even a hint of where Brian is thinking and that's
just the way he wants it, because currently, he doesn't have one either. He's a
young man though that along with everything else he is enjoying about the
season, the recruiting process has been kind of fun as well. So, we'll keep in
touch, see how his season goes, but chances are, until that bye week (we'll find
out when that is), his list might not be any nearer to existing than it is right
now.
